Possibly, but I don't see how/where.

The code inside the `let' is the defalias of `read-file-name-internal'.  That
should be some hint to who constructs that function.

Grepping the Icicles (and other 3rd-party code I use) for
`minibuffer-completing-file-name', I do not see anywhere that such a function
(or even something similar) is built.

And grepping for `read-file-name-internal' finds nothing that seems related.

The only place Icicles binds `minibuffer-completing-file-name' to t is in
`icicle-read-file-name', which, after doing some unrelated stuff just binds
`read-file-name-function' to nil and calls `read-file-name' (thus using the
default behavior for `read-file-name').

Icomplete runs only `icomplete-exhibit' on `icomplete-post-command-hook' (hence
on `post-command-hook') AFAICT.

I checked all of this code before filing the bug report, and checked it again
just now.  Any idea?  What would construct a function of no args that is
essentially `read-file-name-internal' and put it on `post-command-hook' (and
apparently in or around icompletion, since I see the error only in that
context)?
